Feeling extra itchy, sneezy, or foggy lately?
Allergy season is in full swing, and if your histamine bucket is overflowing, youāre not alone. Histamine isnāt just triggered by pollen ā certain foods and stressors can ramp it up, too.
Here are some quick ways to support your body and dial down the histamine response:
Foods to Limit (High in Histamines):
⢠Aged cheeses, smoked meats, fermented foods (like sauerkraut, kombucha)
⢠Alcohol, especially wine and beer
⢠Vinegar-based foods, soy sauce, tomatoes, eggplant
⢠Canned or leftover foods (histamine builds over time!)
Foods to Support You (Lower in Histamines):
⢠Freshly cooked meats and fish
⢠Leafy greens like arugula, romaine, and watercress
⢠Berries (except strawberries), apples, pears
⢠Herbs like basil and thyme
⢠Quercetin-rich foods (onions, apples, broccoli)
Bonus Tips:
⢠Hydrate ā water helps flush excess histamines
⢠Support your gut ā itās where histamine is processed
⢠Try natural antihistamines like quercetin or vitamin C
⢠Breathe + rest ā nervous system calm = lower reactivity
Your bodyās doing its best to adapt ā with the right support, you can help it stay balanced through the season!
